I noticed the similarity to the symptoms for the "Ignore TV Output Quirk" at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Quirks . While doing this directly didn't work, I used VGA instead of TV to disable to VGA output:

In xorg.conf:

Section "Device"
        ...
        Option "Monitor-VGA" "VGA"
EndSection

and the new section:

Section "Monitor"
        Identifier "VGA"
        Option "Ignore" "True"
EndSection

and it worked. Of course the problem with this is that connecting via a VGA cable doesn't work anymore (No Screens found, and it falls back to low-res VESA).
